I found a few tubes of NOS, SP0256A-080's...Hi,<br /><br />I found a few tubes of NOS, SP0256A-080's in one of my older chip boxes today:) They are used for speech, robot kits etc and pretty hard to find new. They are 86 date codes, and the cost is $12 shipped in the US and $15 worldwide. I can also sell all 30 pcs for $225 shipped worldwide. Here is a little info from the web on the chip:<br /><br />The SP0256-080 produces all 59 phonemes of the English language plus 5 pauses of different<br />durations. This is the simplest approach to universal speech synthesis and the speech quality makes for a<br />good robot voice. Each of the phoneme's speech patterns are individually addressable, making the<br />SP0256-080 capable of saying anything that can be said in the English language. This chip is rare and<br />getting harder to find! Features: Cool "Retro" Robotic Speech * Stand Alone Operation with inexpensive<br />support components * Allophone Synthesis.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Mark CappsMark Cappshttp://www.arcadechips.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-43012153211433533192008-08-13T02:41:00.000-06:002008-08-13T02:41:00.000-06:00Hello!I worked for GI starting in 1995...now bough...Hello!<BR/><BR/>I worked for GI starting in 1995...now bought up by Motorola a few years back...I still work for them...I had one of these on my desk programmed to say "General Instrument Will Rise Again!" :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
